Abstract: The present invention is a water-in-oil emulsion having a high content of water and relatively high amounts of skin-moisturizing agents and a cosmetic or dermatological stick including the water-in-oil emulsion. The present invention also includes methods of moisturizing the skin using the water-in-oil emulsion. The water-in-oil emulsion is solid at room temperature and comprises a fatty phase with at least one oil component and at least one wax component, an aqueous phase with a skin-moisturizing agent in addition to water, a water-in-oil emulsifier having the general structure A-B-A?, where A? and A? represent the same or different hydrophobic inorganic groups and B is a hydrophilic group.

Abstract: The invention is a light-protective cosmetic or dermatological preparation, comprising (a) at least hydroxybenzophenone and (b) at least one benzoxazole derivative. The invention is also a cosmetic or dermatological preparation comprising at least one hydroxybenzophenone of a specified chemical structure and at least one benzoxazole derivative. The invention is also a method of treating or preventing cosmetic or dermatological changes in the skin, a method of tanning or accelerating tanning of the skin, and a method of protecting the skin against light-induced aging, each comprising applying the preparation to the skin. The invention also includes a wipe impregnated with the preparation.

Abstract: The cosmetic or dermatological formulations of the invention include: (a) at least one oxidation-sensitive or UV-sensitive active ingredient, (b) at least one dialkyl naphthalate which is distinguished by the structural formula in which R1 and R2, independently of one another, are chosen from the group of branched and unbranched alkyl groups having 6 to 24 carbon atoms, and (c) at least one wax and/or one oil thickener. The present invention also includes methods of using the cosmetic or dermatological formulations.

Abstract: Cosmetic and dermatological formulations comprising at least one hydrophilic active ingredient and at least one dialkyl naphthalate which is characterized by the structural formula in which R1 and R2, independently of one another, are selected from the group of branched and unbranched alkyl groups having 6 to 24 carbon atoms, have been found to be stable and effective, particularly in moisturizing the skin or protection the skin from skin aging.

Abstract: Cosmetic or dermatological formulations comprising at least one particulate UV filter substance and at least one dialkyl naphthalate having the structural formula wherein R1 and R2 are selected independently of one another from the group consisting of branched and unbranched alkyl groups having 6 to 24 carbon atoms, are useful for protecting skin from harmful effects of solar radiation, particularly from UV-A and UV-B radiation.

Abstract: The invention relates to light-protective cosmetic or dermatological preparations that contain (a) at least one hydroxy-benzophenone, and (b) at last one dialkyl naphthalate of the structural formula (I), wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected form the group of the branched and unbranched alkyl groups that have 6 to 24 carbon atoms.

Abstract: The invention is a cosmetic or dermatological formulation, comprising: (a) at least one oxidation- and/or UV-sensitive active ingredient; (b) at least one dialkyl naphthalate which is characterized by the structural formula in which R1 and R2, independently of one another, are chosen from the group of branched and unbranched alkyl groups having 6 to 24 carbon atoms; and (c) at least one lipid with a polarity of at most 30 mN/m. The present invention also includes method of using the cosmetic or dermatological formulations.

Abstract: Cosmetic and dermatological formulations containing at least one UV-sensitive active ingredient have increased UV protection and have the active ingredient stabilized against decomposition through addition of at least one dialkyl naphthalate of the structural formula wherein R1 and R2 are selected independently of one another from the group consisting of branched and unbranched alkyl groups having between 6 and 24 carbon atoms, and at least one emulsifier, selected from the group consisting of phosphate and sulphate emulsifiers.

Abstract: The invention is a light-protective cosmetic or dermatological preparation comprising (a) at least one water-soluble UV-filter substance and (b) at least one benzoxazole derivative. The invention is also a cosmetic or dermatological preparation comprising at least one water-soluble UV-filter substance and at least one benzoxazole derivative of a specified chemical structure. The invention is also a method of treating or preventing cosmetic or dermatological changes in the skin, a method of tanning or accelerating tanning of the skin, and a method of protecting the skin against light-induced aging, each comprising applying the cosmetic or dermatological preparation to the skin. The invention also includes a wipe impregnated with the preparation.

Abstract: The invention is a light-protective cosmetic or dermatological preparation, comprising (a) at least benzotriazole and (b) at least one benzoxazole derivative. The invention is also a cosmetic or dermatological preparation comprising at least one benzotriazole from a select group and at least one benzoxazole derivative of a specified chemical structure. The invention is also a method of treating or preventing cosmetic or dermatological changes in the skin, a method of tanning or accelerating tanning of the skin, and a method of protecting the skin against light-induced aging, each comprising applying the preparation to the skin. The invention also includes a wipe impregnated with the preparation.
